It
looks like R-15 zoning will now be the plan for a proposed
development south of Platte City that had drawn opposition
earlier this year.

Landowner
James Farley and developers Willis and Darrin Sherry have
reached a compromise with several nearby property owners
who had been in opposition to the development in its originally
proposed form. The development is planned on 80 acres
near 136th St.

R-15
zoning will allow lots covering a minimum of 15,000 square
feet. Other reported items of agreement include that there
will be no more than 158 lots and that the first two phases
will feature the majority of the larger lots to serve
as a buffer between the development and adjacent property
owners.

Earlier
this year, Farley's group had proposed a plan calling
for nearly 170 homes and R-7 zoning. It was tabled and
then withdrawn after opposition developed.
